Title: Methods and apparatus for optical transmission of digital signals
Inventor: ARMSTRONG JEAN
IPC: H04B10/04
Filed: 2006-09-01
Abstract: An apparatus and a method for transmitting digital information over an optical channel are disclosed. The apparatus includes a signal generator adapted to process input digital information bits to generate a corresponding electrical orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal waveform; an optical transmitter having an input adapted to receive the OFDM signal waveform, and configured to apply a modulation to intensity of an optical carrier corresponding with the electrical OFDM signal waveform to produce an optical signal and an optical output port for transmitting the optical signal over the optical channel to a receiver which includes an optical intensity detector. The modulation has an amplitude and a bias level selected such that negative excursions of a waveform of the optical signal are clipped at a minimum output optical power level and the optical signal waveform is asymmetrically-limited in amplitude. The modulation amplitude and bias level are selected such that an increase in the bias level and/or a decrease in the amplitude to reduce clipping at the minimum output optical power level results in a corresponding reduction of quality of an OFDM signal of equivalent optical power detected at the receiver by the optical intensity detector. Further disclosed are an apparatus and a method for receiving digital information transmitted over an optical channel via an optical signal to which an intensity modulation is applied corresponding with an electrical OFDM signal waveform carrying the digital information. The modulation has an amplitude and a bias level selected such that negative excursions of a waveform of the optical signal are clipped at a minimum output optical power level and the optical signal waveform is asymmetrically-limited in amplitude. The apparatus includes an optical intensity detector, configured to detect the optical signal to produce a received electrical signal corresponding with the asymmetrically-limited optical signal waveform; a signal processor operatively coupled to the Intensity detector and adapted to: apply a transformation to the received electrical signal from the time domain to the frequency domain to generate a corresponding plurality of received OFDM symbol values; perform an equalisation of the received OFDM symbol values to produce estimates of corresponding transmitted OFDM symbol values; and recover the digital information from the estimates of transmitted OFDM symbol values. The modulation amplitude and bias level are selected such that an Increase In the bias level and/or a decrease in the amplitude to reduce clipping at the minimum output optical power level results in a corresponding reduction of accuracy of the estimates of transmitted OFDM symbol values for a detected optical signal of equivalent optical power.

Title: Methods and systems for delivery of fluidic samples to sensor arrays
Inventor: SHRIKHANDE PRASHANT V
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2006-10-23
Abstract: Total analysis systems and methods for simultaneously monitoring a suite of biological and/or chemical species in water and/or other process systems is disclosed. The system provides a sample-volume controlled sensor array comprising a fluid delivery device and a plurality of optical sensor elements for determining the presence and total concentrations of multiple analytes in the process system simultaneously. Delivery means deliver a metered quantity of sample fluid to the sensor array and image identification algorithms are used to identify the analytes based on image intensity, colour pattern, and positional arrangement. The method incorporates multivariate optimization algorithms to analyze multiple sensor responses. This produces analytical results that are typically difficult to obtain without full system or variable compensation. The array response may then be utilized to measure, monitor, and control the concentration of analytes in the chemical or biological sample or water system.

Title: Use of photosynthetic pigment stabilizing agents to regulate ripening and quality in fruits and vegetables
Inventor: DHINGRA AMIT
IPC: A23B7/154
Filed: 2012-05-23
Abstract: Disclosed are methods to temporarily delay the ripening, maturation or senescence of produce such as fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants comprising the steps of; (a) identifying produce for which delaying or slowing of ripening is desirable and; (b) applying glycine betaine (2-trimethylammonioacetate, TMG, betaine anhydrous, N,N,N-trimethylglycine) to said produce.

Filed: 2011-06-29
Abstract: Disclosed is a retainer (10a) for a wire rope safety barrier, a post (14) for a wire rope safety barrier and a wire rope safety barrier. The safety barrier is configured so that impacting vehicles do not cause wire ropes (12) to become detached or result in the collapse of posts (14) by dissipating the incurred force along the length of the road safety barrier to other posts (14) by employing a frangible tab (18). The retainer (10a) comprises a plurality of posts (14) for supporting one or more wire ropes (12) above the ground. The retainer (10a) includes an arm (16a, 16b) in the form of a ring for embracing at least half of a circumference of the post (14). The retainer (10a) can be held on the post (14) in a position along its length. The frangible or yieldable tab (18) extends from the arm (18) which is configured to break of yield when subjected to a lateral force by the wire rope (12) which exceeds a predetermined force. The wire rope is held in a notch or cut-away (20) in the post having a flat lower side and a curved upper side. The assists the wire rope to resist downward force and direct any upward force toward the frangible tab. In an alternative barrier the retainer is omitted and the wire rope winds in and out of the posts in a sinuous path and is held in tension along the length of the barrier.
